Guess Who Else went North to A?

In May of 1984, President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II met together with U.S. and Vatican officials in the Fairbanks International Airport terminal. This marked the first time a U.S. president and pope met outside of the White House or Vatican.

















They were both conveniently "stopping over" in Alaska: Reagan was returning from China, while the Pope was on his way TO Asian locations.
